Congrats to you! So, this is not a quilt thing, but one of the most fun projects. When my first grand son was born (33 years ago) I started an album for him and each month, writing him a letter of things Grandma wanted to tell him. I asked my daughter for at least 4 or 5 pictures a month for this. I gave it to his mother on his first birthday. In 18 months, youngest daughter had a boy and I did the same for him. In another 18 months she had another boy, and 6 months later our oldest daughter had our only girl.....So I was doing 2 books for the last 6 months. Sometimes, it was a really chore, but I stuck to it! Now they are 33, 31 and 2 that are 30. Each have children of their own ! I personalized each book with a theme, one was cowboy, one was Disney, one was nature and the last was Holly Hobby for the baby girl. There are so many cute thing you could use now. They each have loved these books with a hand written letter from Grandma!!!
